This is one of the world's finest hotels and staying here is like taking a step into the past. Very traditional hotel, extremely comfortable, wonderful location and the breakfast is worth dying for. The staff are friendly and helpful without being overbearing. I've stayed here several times and will be going back again.

2 adults and 2 children had a wonderful week.
We were greeted at check in with a welcoming smile and a choice of cold fresh juice or sparkling wine!
The apartment we initially booked was no longer available so we upgraded to the master suite at no extra cost!
It was beautiful, our master bedroom had a stunning view of the marina and the Atlantic Ocean!
Exceptionally furnished, clean and incredibly spacious.
All the pools were clean with comfortable sun loungers and staff on hand with pool towels.
Staff were attentive and friendly but not too intrusive!
Fantastic holiday!

Great hotel for couples. Room was exactly what we wanted and the spa facilities were great, including free use of hot tub, sauna and indoor and outdoor pools! Hotel staff were happy to help when asked and the hotel was an easy distance from Funchal centre, either by bus for €1.90 or a pleasant 20 minute walk. Balcony view of the sea was incredible as was the view of Funchal from the rooftop. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

We had an absolutely great time , the rooms were very clean , well maintained , the hotel staff were very polite spoke excellent English and extremely helpful. The food was to a good standard with plenty of variety , choice of meats and wide variety of fruit. Breakfast was well cooked again lots of variety and very well prepared. We had a packing most days to take advantage of the walking , staff helped sort out bus routes and the shuttle bus was great . Evening meals were well prepared and again several various options, only gripe the meat on one occasion could have been warmer . The room we had 411 had great views right on the beach , brilliant setting. Entertainment was varied , the traditional Madeira display and birds of Prey were particularly very good

I HAVE NOTHING BUT PRAISE FOR THIS HOTEL. IT IS ,BY DESIGN A PERFECTLY SITUATED RESTING POINT TO ENJOY THE SENSATION OF BEING IN FUNCHAL,WHILE BEING CARRIED BACK IN TIME TO QUIETER DAYS AND TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO VIEW THE TOWN AND IT'S SETTING AGAINST THE ATLANTIC.
IT'S A SMALL HOTEL WHICH ENABLES THE STAFF TREAT ALL THEIR GUESTS WITH EQUANIMITY AND AN OLD-FASHIONED PERSONAL STYLE VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND THESE DAYS.
WE HOLIDAYED HERE 15 YEARS AGO, AND CAME BACK TO SEE IF WE STILL FELT THE SAME ABOUT IT. IT'S STILL THE MOST ROMANTIC CORNER OF A LOVELY ISLAND.
